let's wait and see how morsi uses these powers. up until now he's done pretty well from the western perspective in working with israel. he did not call for jihad, he did not break off relations with israel. he's been the key facilitator. the question is, is he going to allow egypt to become a real democracy and there's a lot of skepticism about that. he has a lot to prove to the outside world and his own people. >> all right, robin wright, always great to talk to you. >> thank you. >> up ahead on "starting point," an out-of-this world thanksgiving celebration. turkey in zero gravity. we'll tell you about it. if you are one of the millions of men who have used androgel 1%, there's big news. presenting androgel 1.62%. both are used to treat men with low testosterone. androgel 1.62% is from the makers of the number one prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. it raises your testosterone levels, and... is concentrated, so you could use less gel. and with androgel 1.62%, you can save on your monthly prescription.
